Nenganji Temple
中野区本町２丁目２６−６
A Soto Zen temple known as the temple of Nakano Choja (Nakano Elder) and Suzuki Kuro. The main hall houses a statue of Shakyamuni Buddha dating back to the Kamakura period.
History
The temple originated when Suzuki Kuro, known as Nakano Choja, who developed the area during the Muromachi period, entered the Buddhist priesthood following the death of his daughter and converted his residence into a temple. In the early Edo period, it was separated from a shrine, relocated to Honmachi in Nakano Ward, and renamed Nenganji. It is also known for being the place where Kondo Isami of the Shinsengumi kept his family during the late Edo period.
